Regarding the modification of the rear derailleur to accommodate a larger cassette / freewheel cog:
Just this week I read about doing that on the bikeforums.net. A fellow was able to use a water jet cutter of some sort at his community college to cut a longer cage so he could use a vintage derailleur and a larger tooth freewheel. Not sure what measure of success with new set up yet or if he has even had a chance to test it out. A search should turn it up that discussion.
